2:1 If You Can't Be Anything Else, Be a Bad Example
Consider this a great lost episode of Critter Chronicles! This was recorded a lifetime ago back in September of 2021, and then life got in the way of this podcast. Well, it is finally time it sees the light of day! Michelle was a wonderful host who shared many stories about her career in mixed practice in Southern California. It was a really fun interview, and I'm glad I finally have been motivated enough to get it out to your ears! Note: there's some interruptions from my son in this podcast, and to be honest, it just sounded even clunkier when I tried to edit them out. My bad. That's a good taste of why there was a big 'ol pause on new episodes :) Sorry.

Episode 9: Family and Adjustments
Dr. Sonya joins us this week to discuss her veterinary journey. She is a veterinarian from Louisiana who has taken a few different journeys in her career, from her children to starting a practice to starting a career in chiropractic medicine. This was a neat episode that taught me a lot about the world of chiropractics in veterinary medicine, as well as some great story telling from Dr. Sonya's time in practice!

Customer Reviews
Love Hearing about Veterinarian Life!
I have thoroughly enjoyed each episode of Critter Chronicles and look forward to more in 2022. I have a new appreciation for the profession and want to thank Dr. Aaron for opening my eyes to that. Thanks to all Veterinarians for not only taking care of our 4 legged friends but us as well when we visit!
Livens up any truck ride
Love hearing the stories, really keeps me entertained in the truck between calls. Hoping Dr. Aaron puts out more content soon!
A real treat
I am an ambu vet, and this show always has me smiling and laughing along. It’s such a nice pick me up at the end of a long day on the road. It’s just like being with friends, having a drink, and sharing some good stories
